13. A Glasgow Kiss
"Meet Zara Smith: 29, single and muddling her way through life as a trainee nurse in Glasgow. With 30 fast approaching, she's determined to do whatever it takes to find love. Cheered on by best friends Ashley and Raj, Zara embarks on a string of dating escapades that are as hilarious as they are disastrous. From online dating to blind dates, hometown hook-ups to flirty bartenders, nothing is off limits."
14. Post Punk City
"Post Punk City sees Martin McClenaghan turn the lens on his native city 1979-1990. Glasgow cityscapes, architecture, the Clyde, markets, portraits, political demos, work, leisure and holidays all feature in an evocative portrait of a city in transition. This unique and largely-unpublished archive reveals many sides of the city, and the people at its heart. All augmented by live music photography reflecting this key era from The Fall, Cramps, Banshees, Ants and Magazine to New Order, U2, Altered Images and Orange Juice."
